The Spirit is Alive!
Minnesota Street Project
Join artists, friends, and appreciators to celebrate the colorful history of one of the oldest art schools in the United States. The event, supporting the SFAI Legacy Foundation, features live music, beverages, beatniks, and a silent auction with special limited portfolio.
Founded in 1871 and formerly known as the California School of Fine Arts (SFA), the San Francisco Art Institute has been a birthplace and home to nearly every cultural movement and artistic expression over the past 152 years.
